> If this were true, why doesn't Google, Facebook, and others give us straight-forward ways to opt out?

I don't think anyone expected them to just flip the switch and do that without a reasonable (maybe to just them?) alternative I can say, the idea of using 'cohorts' as discussed by this FLOC approach, from what I can tell, is positive progress. Is it far enough? Perhaps not.

> why exactly is Facebook trying so damned hard to prevent Apple from giving people a simple opt out?

Good question. I am not aware of that issue.

I also Question Apple as they take payment from Google to the tune of billions of dollars for search, pushing 'beacons' etc, while promoting themselves a bastion of privacy and security. None of it is as simple as it seems.
a bunch of dudes bought a bunch of contracts $50 or $500 or whatever cheap price a piece for 100 shares so far out of the money they'd be worth $6000 if price got there. market makers bought anywhere between 1 and 10 shares to hedge the risk of the price getting there.

turns out there were so many of them the market makers got the price in the money just by hedging via a chain reaction of sorts, called 'gamma squeeze'. see also https://www.swfinstitute.org/news/83341/what-is-a-gamma-sque...

you could say the market was broken for a couple hours this friday. funds not used to losing money (market makers like citadel) lost money. eyebrows were raised.
Twitter is almost zero effort. Wikipedia is very low effort.

In terms of Hacker News, these tend to correlate with the level of engagement people find in the topic (politics and other hot button topics aside).

To put it another way, linking to a tweet is probably not the way a person will tell a friend about their favorite band. A wikipedia link is almost as unlikely but not quite.

A better way to tell a friends about a band is by linking to the band's homepage.

The best ways are things like playing the band's music for the friend or going to a concert together and so forth. Commitment reflects deep interest.

Writing a long blog post about Morris Chang would be a rough equivalent here. Not that I do that approach myself.

What is missing from Twitter and Wikipedia is an answer to "Why should I care?" Missing from both by design.

That's expectancy at birth. If you made it to 20, you were likely to make it to 60, even in the mid 1800s.

Agreed. I think it is lazy to look at the rise in real income and not look at the rise in real expenses and decline in stable, non-precarious employment.
The biggest /b/tard I knew growing up now works at a bank and actually has had multiple large windfalls from bitcoin,TSLA stocks and Pokemon cards.
average life expectancy is a trap -- the distribution is binomial. People tended to either die early, as infants, or live to an average 60.[0] Specifically, if you were age 0, you have an expected lifespan of 40, but by age 10, you have an expected lifespan of 60. Today expected lifespan after reaching age 10 is better, but not as extreme as the average tells you: you'd expect to hit to live to 77. [1]

So most people who were actually wandering out of their cribs would have found 60 to be a perfectly normal age; and 40 would still be middle aged -- the past wasn't that much different from the present :)

you just wouldn't expect to see great-grandfathers as often (but at the same time, you don't see many today because the average first child-birth age has shifted upwards as well[2])

Starlink's target is lower latency (because speed of light in low earth orbit is 30% higher than speed of light in fiber optics).

A CDN sending or storing their consumer facing data via satellite makes no sense. But control plane data? Maybe.

I read Siddhartha three years ago. I realize this is a long quote, but when I read the passage below, I had a huge rush of emotions and joy. It's been easy to forget this passage with everything that has happened over the past year. Thank you for the reminder that I wish more moments of my life were like this one.

>>> Siddhartha learned something new on every step of his path for the world was transformed, and his heart was changed. He saw the sun rising over the mountains with their forests and setting over the distant beach with its palm-trees. At night, he saw the stars in the sky in their fixed positions and the crescent of the moon floating like a boat in the blue. He saw trees, stars, animals, clouds, rainbows, rocks, herbs, flowers, stream and river, the glistening dew in the bushes in the morning, distant high mountains which were blue and pale, birds sang and bees, wind silverishly blew through the rice-field. All of this, a thousand-fold and colourful, had always been there, always the sun and the moon, had shone, always rivers had roared and bees had buzzed, but in former times all of this had been nothing more to Siddhartha than a fleeting, deceptive veil before his eyes, looked upon in distrust, destined to be penetrated and destroyed by thought, since it was not the essential existence, since this essence lay beyond, on the other side of the visible. But now, his liberated eyes stayed on this side, he saw and became aware of the visible, sought to be at home in this world, did not search of the true essence, did not aim at a world beyond. Beautiful was this world, looking at it thus, without searching, thus simply, thus childlike. Beautiful were the moon and the stars, beautiful was the stream and the banks, the forest and the rocks, the goat and the gold-beetle, the flower and the butterfly. Beautiful and love it was, thus to walk through the world, thus childlike, thus awoken, thus open to what is near, thus without distrust. Differently the sun burnt the head, differently the shade of the forest cooled him down, differently the stream and the cistern, the pumpkin and the banana tasted. Short were the days, short the nights, every hour sped swiftly away like a sail on the sea, and under the sail was a ship full of treasures, full of joy. Siddhartha saw a group of apes moving through the high canopy of the forest, high in the branches, and heard their savage, greedy song. Siddhartha saw a male sheep following a female one and mating with her. In a lake of reeds, he saw the pike hungrily hunting for its dinner; propelling themselves away from it, in fear, wiggling and sparkling, the young fish jumped in droves out of the water; the scent of strength and passion came forcefully out of the hasty eddies of the water, which the pike stirred up, impetuously hunting.

>>> All of this had always existed, and he had not seen it; he had not been with it. Now he was with it, he was part of it. Light and shadow ran through his eyes, stars and moon ran through his heart.

> The ban on porn is defensible outside of any moral framework because once you allow porn then all what's left is porn (although it would be useful to think about why that is).

Reddit and 8chan allow the creation of pornography subboards and never even approached that state.
Taboola relies on the open web for its existence, but by littering it with their garbage for a quick buck they are contributing to drive people towards walled gardens. It's a self-destructive company. It reminds me of this fishing technique where they scrape the whole ocean floor with huge nets, slowly destroying the whole ecosystem in order to get a few more low quality fish.
I’m not so sure that video games are the “most important” aspect of youth culture. Within certain groups, yeah, but that has been true to an extent for decades. AAA video games still skew to largely male audiences, and people don’t build their identities as much around casual games. Social media and music as a whole have more traction across cultural groups. If the argument is economic, then I guess Starbucks is equally important to human culture as recorded music is.
Remember that only 40% of Californians are from California. Most people in California aren't from there.
I love WSB. Up 200% on GME, 240% NIO, 60% on Carnival Cruise. They have decent insight when you learn their lingo. They also admit this is gambling.

Current GME argument. A short squeeze will come around April. Long term the guy that fixed Chewy is going to take over. It will become a good company again. However between those two sentences is a gap where the stock will go back down to 5-10. Current theory: ride the fucker to 300-500 like VW when it was short squeezed. Get out while there are still bag holders. Get back in later.
This comment reads like a "they're really playing 4-dimensional chess" moment.

There are definitely some smart people on wsb, but I very much doubt the use of silly language (like, say, calling bears "gay bears") is anything other than users being intentionally ridiculous and funny.
30% is huge for an aircraft. Not only do you need more fuel for each trip, you need extra fuel to handle carrying around the extra fuel. (not necessarily intuitive starting out but aircraft deal with amplification factors, energy added ounce of fuel will require a greater than unity number of additional ounces of fuel for equivalent performance)

Comparison to electric flight is a bad comparison as until very recently electric flight was basically considered to be impossible with present technology.
Exactly, it's not a choice.

Also, I think the current method of making alcohol really expensive through levies is not working. It only makes homeless addicted people poorer and more likely to turn to crime.

The rest of us don't give a shit how much it costs, we don't use much of it anyway. The price is never a factor in getting addicted or getting off it.

All it is is the government profiteering of people who can't help themselves.
Big reason for chopping down trees was they didn't like the mess/poop left behind by birds. Or didn't want to manage the trees from falling limbs an such. The irony is now the birds have no trees they thrash living in the courtyards of the malls and shit everywhere ten times worse as it's on concrete now not in a park.

I have health issues and I try to correlate cause and effect.

I use a rower several times a day, it sits next to my desk. One thing I would love is an API that enables download of key stats like watts, times, etc.

I value raw data over slick apps. I have my own data sources for heart rate, glucose and a few other things. It would be great to integrate this into my home brew system.

Dexcom has a decent API for instance
https://developer.dexcom.com

Or start a line of exercise/health equipment that features integrations with fitness watches, indoor air quality monitors(VOC's), blood pressure, glucose, blood oxygen, weather(smog, pollen) etc etc.

It should help answer questions like Does my blood pressure/glucose behave different when:
* row for 10 minutes and generate _x_ watts
* pollen is high, smog is dense
* use a standing desk vs sitting

So far it seems that busting out 10 minutes on a rower seems to have positive effects for at least 24hrs unlike moderate running. I would love to get the actual data on a chart.
Was this in the US? I’ve tried and everyone told me filling an expired prescription is illegal. Even places that don’t do exams. I have an old prescription and don’t want to get an exam because of the pandemic.
We don't typically describe ourselves as the Peloton for rowing. But we did so here to make it easy for everyone to understand what we built. We appreciate your concern :)
market makers who write the options but want to hedge the risk by taking a related position in the market itself. they don't want risk, they just want the premium, so they don't care about the price of the underlying most of the time. what they do is continuously adjust the position as the price changes and time to expiration gets shorter. you can imagine the amount needed to hedge gets very nonlinear the closer to expiration and the closer to the money the option is, hence a single short time to expiry near the money contract can cause a lot of volume.
We have real life data. Cities in California are spending north of $50,000 a year per homeless person (higher than finland's median income!) and the problem is still as bad as ever. The climate is also dry and warm 330 days a year.

> The problem always becomes that few think their faction has this problem. Most people think that they and their side believe in the truth, and that the other side is peddling false information. In such an environment, "combating misinformation" inevitably becomes "trying to get everyone to agree with me."

The problem with your line of thinking is that it assumes good faith and a certain amount of competence, which are assumptions that I don't think we can reasonably make anymore in light of the insane success of things like QAnon and "Stop the Steal."

HIIT workouts are good but doing some cardio helps. And for beginner rowers I think it is a good idea to have learning programs so they don't fuck-up their back by not using their legs to their full potential. A side camera with some live coaching sessions would be tremondously helpful there.
Yes, I tried in my 20s with no obvious positive result.
At 30% with first shot they're probably half way there to effective herd immunity. One thing I read out of Israel was vaccinating the most venerable would bring the death rate down dramatically. Something like a 80/20 applies.

What I'm worried about is a surge in infections in the gap between population wide herd immunity and just most the venerable. As the death rate falls people will get really careless.

The predisposition to myopia is genetic but one becomes myopic due to an environmental factor: the lack of exposure to sunlight. It is because of the lack to regular exposure to sunlight that people who study and spend a lot of time in homes can develop myopia if they are genetically predisposed.

Focusing on nearby objects does not lead to myopia. Doing gymnastics with the eyes has no effect. Likewise, using under-sized glasses has no effect on myopia.

Here a supporting article about Inuit populations developed myopia just in one generation because of changes in lifestyle reducing outdoor activities:

I'm not so sure that that is true.

I do not think there is but a single word in the Dutch language that cannot be featured even on children's programming. Some cultures have a concept of “taboo words”, and others seem to lack it.
> The U.S. Government soon announced its safe return and loudly reassured the public that, thanks to the device’s multiple safety systems, the bomb had never come close to exploding.

Okay but seriously. How good are the safety mechanisms? Is there significant risk an unarmed nuke could explode if going fast enough or with enough vibrations?
This is what I thought... I suppose living on the street in such a climate can be deadly even. Definitely reduce life expectancy.
I don't agree. The sentence before that one changes the context:

"The basic surface-level story of WSB is this."

The author is trying to explain that this is how the majority of the world sees the group, but the reality is different.
All three of those things are things that are hard to outsource. My suspicion for a long time has been that we've actually had massive inflation since roughly the year 2000, but it's been masked by the effect of outsourcing and automation reducing the price of pretty much all manufactured goods.
In general, USB mics are assumed to be a little more featureful (e.g. they have an on-board sound card). This is mostly an assumption, though. For super low end microphones, it's kind of difficult to compare specifications, so I'd just rely on user reviews on YouTube and the like.
> Trying to pursue this commercially just seems like a quick way to lose a lot of money.

Yeah the best option is to just sit around and wait until better technology appears out of thin air. Much easier than wasting all that money and time on R&D.

this is the good answer.

Did you have no homeless people, or were they still sleeping rough, just without a tarp to keep the wind and the rain off their heads?
With that kind of spending, how can it be that homeless people have trouble finding shelters? Sounds like a lot of that money is going to middlemen and outsourcing companies than the actual people that need it.

The other hypothesis I've heard is that it's switching back and forth between focusing on close-up things and distant things. Which you naturally do a lot when engaging in outdoor activities, but basically not at all when staring at books or screens.

It's probably based on the theory that over a longer time frame the eye adapts to slightly defocused images in order to bring them in focus. The key is that the image must be defocused only slightly, not grossly.

Therefore, it is commercially more viable to keep the authoritarian happy.

I view it as more of a double-edged sword. It can be very handy if you have a hostile ISP playing shenanigans with DNS or logging your queries and selling the data, but as you point out, it's also useful for bad actors as well.
In some ways I agree with you - Lisp does seem old school when all the ML people are using Python.

On the other hand the algos don't change that much so it's still relevant in that sense - and the book is about getting the reader to become a Jedi, rather than being a reference book on AI.
It seems disingenuous to bring up racial slurs in the context of profanity. They're two very different categories, even if they are both subsets of "words that can get you in trouble." As you acknowledge, the app in question was blocked for profanity, not slurs.

As parent comment says, profanity seems to be mostly a religious issue. I can say "fuck" on TV, or in my novel, or even in my Hacker News comment. But I doubt I'd get away with such language in church, or a show I wanted to sell to a Puritanical USA audience.

None of that has anything to do with slurs, which are much more widely agreed as "wrong." You can reasonably expect a service or file extension that turned out to accidentally be a slur would get a lot more attention, unlike "ASS"

Also, I think it's overlooked how much of the banter on wallstreetbets does not necessarily dictate how participants invest. There are probably many people who read, joke, and occasionally make a risky investment, but who otherwise maintain a relatively conservative portfolio.

IME, yes. I tend to tap my teeth. Focusing on my tongue--pushing against my palette, keeping my teeth separated--helps.

Seemingly coincidental remedy, too. I don't remember reading anything about the proper resting position of the jaw. I just found that the one the helped the other. In fact, I was worried doing this with my tongue was a no-no, but figured it was better than the alternative.
